13 Whoso rewardeth evil
for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
Proverbs 17:13 King
James Version (KJV)
People complain that sometimes they get the worst out of been
good to people, the ones that hurt the most is friends that pay you back in
ways you did not treat them.
My Pastor will always say, “They did it to JESUS, why don’t you
expect people to do it to you (Matthew 27:11-13).” It feels bad to be used as a
Christian, when they need help they will call you, but when you need them, they
are nowhere to be found. JESUS in Matthew 5:39-48, commanded us to go the
extra-mile for people, and at the end of the day you will may not get a return
of your giving, from the person you helped….. But you know the GOD who sees in
secret rewards openly, know that you are working for a greater purpose (Matthew
6:4).
39 But I say unto
you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right
cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man
will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that
asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard
that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto
you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be
the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise
on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love
them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute
your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore
perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:39-48
